Karlinski et al. conducted a retrospective data analysis recently published online in stroke, that is looking at the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage sICH post intravenous thrombolysis in patients with previous stroke-related disability. This study sheds a light on the impact of different levels of pre-stroke disability on patients’ profile and outcome after intravenous thrombolysis. This subgroup of patients is usually excluded from most stroke trials, which gives an extra value to this study.
